Hi
Episode 5
Sorry I'm late. There was so much traffic
Did you bring your car?
No
This young lady's not a new employee
She works here as an administrative assistant
Her name is Suh Huyn-ah
How do you do, everyone?
I've never gone through an official training So I've decided to join you
All set?
Don't we have to confiscate Ms. Suh's things as well?
Oh, right.
- Ms. Suh. - Yes?
Good luck, everyone!
Let's go.
What are we supposed to do with these stuffs?
We're supposed to sell them
Then we'd better start selling.
Are you all just going to stand around?
How about working in teams of two?
Should we?
Who wants to be my partner?
I'll see you guys later.
Let's start selling.
How are you doing, ma'am?
I've just started working for LK, the world-class corporation.
My name is Lee Bong-sam
I'm sorry?
I'm going through training right now.
Would you mind taking a look at a few products?
This is our basic skin care set.
It utilizes the latest technology invented by LK researchers.
This product will restore the natural tone of your skin.
by covering up blemishes and making your skin glow
It also helps retain your skin's firmness.
As an added bonus, it can also be used as sun block.
And just for today, as a special promotion We're offering a 20 percent discount
Crazy nut.
This is a special offer.
I don't want it.
Ma'am
How about 30 percent?
I said no!
Eating bread in the morning always gives me gas
Well, I'm exactly the same way
So the world-class corporation makes all kinds of things.
What do you have there?
Women's lingerie
How about you?
Soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste and so on.
How am I going to sell this stuff?
Why didn't I think of that before?
My aunt lives in this neighborhood
Should I ask her for some help?
The chairman is waiting for you
The chairman?
Didn't I make clear that I don't want any part of it?
It'll only take a minute
What are you trying to do?
I'm sorry?
Aren't you trying to sell those things?
Let's go on separate ways. Stop following me.
Wait…
Let's sell the products together
Come on, stay with me.
Arrogant fool
How dare you reject my offer. And your excuse is that you've found a job?
At the age of 17, I smuggled myself to Japan.
and no matter what adversities I faced, I managed to get back on my feet again
I managed to survive on guts and grit alone.
Young punks today lack those qualities
But I saw those same qualities in you
Let me ask you for the last time
What is your decision?
My decision has not changed
You arrogant fool…
If you're ever in a bind, feel free to call me.
Yes sir
May I be excused now, sir?
Yes.
Sir, are you married by any chance?
Why?
What are her measurements?
35-32-37
It doesn't matter One size fits all.
Let me tell you about this product.
Our women's lingerie is a high-tech line developed by the LK research team.
It lifts sagging breasts and buttocks and controls the lower belly thereby giving the body a lean, toned look.
You're always helping me out.
Come on. Don't mention it
We're the fantastic duo!
- Enjoy. - Thank you!
By the way, who are those guys?
I don't know them very well.
Mr. Kang! Long time no see!
How have you been, ladies?
Why don't you visit anymore?
We heard that you're working for LK right now.
You're something else And you have such a nice suit on too.
Mr. Kang, you're so cool.
Come on, do something!
I'm so hungry that I could die.
Why has that guy been standing there?
Who knows?
He doesn't look like a weirdo.
Hey kids
Familiar with the LK Corporation?
Body care set
Aromatherapy products
What are you doing?
You all worked very hard today
Some of you sold the products below cost.
Other managed to sell them close to the retail price
And some of you couldn't sell anything
So you starved the whole day and had to walk back here
And then there were those who called their acquaintances and sold the items at inflated prices.
You two.
Even though you had the highest sale, you violated the spirit of today's exercise.
For that, you'll receive a score of zero
They weren't acquaintances
This is a misunderstanding
And we didn't rip anyone off
These women just gave us a bit of money for lunch
If you have any grievances, meet with me in private
Excused.
Mr. Moon, sir!
I said, see me in private!
It's not about that
What should I do about the order I received?
An order?
An order for 2000 sets of lingerie?
Room 321.
Room 323
Mr. Kang-Ho and Mr. Lee Bong-sam.
Room 607
And as for you, Ms. Suh Huyn-ah…
Room 608
I guess I have the room for myself?
No…
What are you doing?
There's something to be said for large corporations.
We get to do a training at a hotel
Sorry
Hey
It's me, Ho.
Do you know where I am right now?
You're going to be so shocked
I'm at the LK Hotel
What do you mean why?
I'm going through training.
Hello? Hello?
Hey!
It's me, Ho.
You don't remember me?
Kang Ho.
I'll give you some time to jog your memory.
Hey…
If you knew where I was, you'd be shocked
I'm going through training for new hires. at the LK Hotel
Hello?
Sung-tae
I'm trying to think of you as a reasonably intelligent person.
So I wasn't going to say this.
But since we have to put up with each other during training I'd appreciate if you'd observe basic etiquette
For example…
No loud phone conversations, Or leaving your stuffs all over the place especially socks and things like that.
leaving the water running in the bathroom…
And I can't stand seeing toothpaste all over the sink
Got that?
And one more thing
No unnecessary chatting with either Mi-ok or Huyn-ah
It's been a while, hasn't it?
However long it may be… What's it to you, Bong-sam?
What should I do about the order I got for 2000 sets of lingerie?
How long have you been working here?
Five years.
That's a long time.
And you're still only a temp?
I wasn't hired as a temp.
But they changed my status.
Wow. They can do that?
It's pretty common these days.
You went to a vocational high school?
Yes.
Where do you live?
Why?
I'm just curious.
What are you so curious about?
I can't ask my roommate questions?
How did you manage to land this job?
What do you mean by that?
I know it wasn't through official means
You don't know who I am?
Should I?
Do you have a problem with me?
Listen, what are you trying to do?
I guess you really do have a problem with me.
What are you doing? I'm trying to sleep.
Why, you…
No, we made legitimate sales to some women.
Were you surprised to see me yesterday?
How could you ignore me like that though?
Isn't that the thing to do at work?
Maybe, but I was still a bit disappointed
Did you get a good sleep last night?
I barely slept thanks to my roommate.
Why?
I think she's psychotic.
What do you mean?
She's such an idiot.
Hi, everyone.
Hi
Did you have a good night's sleep, Ms. Suh?
Sure.
Any problem, ma'am?
No
We have a private room available for you.
I'm in training so I'll stay with others.
I understand, ma'am
I guess Mr. Kang Ho is still in his room?
What are you talking about?
2,000 sets of lingerie from Japan?
How is that possible?
How did that punk manage…?
Well…
Sir!
You didn't even tell us…
When did you get back sir?
Just now.
District Manager Kim is well?
Yes, of course.
This is what I believe
The current trend in hiring which emphasizes college names over potential will become obsolete
That was the impetus for our new system of hiring.
We hear that your top new hires really break the mold
Yes, you're absolutely right
A diamond in the rough…
Shall we say?
Sir! We have a problem!
Kang Ho again?
No, no…
Then what?
Mr. Song from the Board of Directors just returned
After this month of training, you'll be reborn as a true member of the LK family.
A month may be considered long by some, short by others
The experience you gain may not be much
Yet you'll learn the necessary organizational skills to survive in the corporate world
Depending on your attitude, this next month could determine the next 10, 20 years of your life.
Reach back to the effort you brought to the application process and approach each day with enthusiasm and zeal
Let's go
Hey
I'm sorry?
You shouldn't be carrying so many stuffs.
SUNG-TAE LK 21st CENTURY
HOW DID I GET HIRED BY LK?
MI-OK BONG-SAM'S EX
Come on in
It's so clean…
Sit down, guys
But your roommate's sleeping
It's all right
Bong-sam, are you sleeping?
Have a beer
Maybe we should go to another room
We can just wake him up
Bong-sam
Lee Bong-sam!
What?
Join us
Yes, come sit down!
I hope we didn't wake you up
Well…
We should invite Huyn-ah and the other girl
After all, we're in this together
Yes, we should
Should we?
Sure.
You think that'd be all right?
They must be tired. Let them sleep
Yes, okay…
We had a tough day. Let's toast!
Cheers!
Thanks for helping out during the hike
Don't mention it.
You're really good at soccer too.
You seem very athletic
Yes
Well, he majored in physical education after all.
What?
Wasn't your major called "Physical Education and Society"?
P.E. and Society?
I majored in taekwondo
How about you?
Business administration in Korea University
Economics at Seoul National University
Wow. My friend's from there too
You know a guy named Joo Sung-tae?
Sung-tae?
He was two years ahead of me.
So you really did go to National University.
You went to Dongchoon University, right?
Dongchoon?
You don't even know where your buddy went to school?
Chumsung University, dude!
Chumgsung?
What do you guys think you're doing?
I made it clear drinking was forbidden.
Do you want to be terminated?
No, sir….
You guys are supposed to set a good example.
Let go!
No, you first!
You're dead, wench!
Ms. Lee! Ms. Suh!
Open up!
What's going on?
Come on, you two!
Will you two stop?
That's enough!
What's going on here?
I'm speechless. I didn't say anything.
I've never met such a strange chick!
She hangs on every word and tries to pick a fight.
Why are you doing this to me?
You provoked me first!
There's nothing wrong with me
Who the heck are you to say no one will ever marry me?
Going on about how no one will ever love me…
But you shouldn't be working with your bad back.
There's no one else around
What if you faint like the last time?
You know I can't drop by often either…
Forget the savings plan. Use the money for yourself.
I'm not getting married.
I'm busy because of the new hires.
Yes, they're all the cream of the crop
No, I can't land one of them.
I'm not good enough to hang around those people
I'll call you again. Bye.
How about a drink?
He told me not to act like I know him at work.
What a jerk!
He's not all that.
Am I wrong?
He is a jerk.
I was going to tell everyone at work
But I felt sorry for him
Then he tells me it's only right to act like I don't know him
Does he really think I'll quit?
Not in a million years!
That's right.
You can't let him make you quick
And then he has the nerve to tell me that I'm the clingy type?
Hey, Lee Bong-sam!
You don't know who you are messing with!
I…
He's just a petty jerk!
Try to forget him!
He's not the only fish in the sea.
Just look around. There are plenty of nice guys
Want me to set you up with my buddy?
You've met him.
He's smarter than Lee Bong-sam, and he's nicer too.
Too bad he's not here with me.
Hey…
Ms. Lee Mi-ok!
Talk about cruddy luck…
This is so embarrassing.
What is the problem with that chick…
That's enough
There's definitely something wrong with her.
Did you use to date something her or something?
What?
No…
You wouldn't be caught dead with someone like her.
So what's her beef with me?
A vocational school grad working as a temp…
How dare she?
You should get some sleep
Are you leaving?
I should
Right now?
After what just happened?
Good night. See you in the morning
Kang Ho…
Chumsung University?
This is the first time I've heard of it
One of the newer universities outside Seoul, It has one of the better reputations
And what an odd major too.
Yes…
But education isn't necessarily an indicator of talent
A perfect score on the exam and the top hire…
Is everything okay at the New York branch?
Yes
About this…
Is the president aware of this young man as well?
He's not currently in the country…
What about District Manager Kim?
Of course, he is.
He's even met this young man in person
Is that right?
When is training over?
LK TRAINING COMMENCEMENT
Congratulations
Lee Bong-sam
Congratulations
Kang Ho
How are you, sir?
I'll give LK my best, sir!
Thank you!
I'll give LK my best, sir!
Extremely poor performance during training…. Dozing off 90% of the time…
But an order for 2000 sets of lingerie?
Kang Ho…
YOU DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THIS FILE
I'm home!
How was the training?
I've heard LK training is notoriously tough.
Did they put you through the ringer?
It was totally overrated.
Did anything special happen?
I got an award.
Did you?
What kind of award?
For congeniality.
Congeniality?
And as a prize…
I got this cell phone.
You just started, and you already won something.
Up till now, you've always taken…
You've never brought home anything in your life.
And such an expensive phone too.
It's nice to work for a major corporation
And that's LK's latest model
It even has high-speed internet access.
Did you say high-speed?
What a nice big screen!
It'd be perfect for me.
You want it, Dad?
Can I…?
And what would your Dad do with it anyway?
This is so nice
Well, you won it so you should keep it
Okay, I will.
Where's Min?
So what you're telling me is… …that you don't understand the question itself?
I'm going to lose my mind.
Let's go over this again very slowly.
This question concerns the vertex.
For example, x minus y equals zero.
There are these formulas
So using these formulas, you get the answer.
You see that?
No?
Say something!
Say yes or no, so I'll know!
You've got to say something!
Min
I…
I really thought you were a little smarter than your brother
How's studying going?
Were you sharing a room with Bong-sam?
He must be going bonkers right now.
Were there a lot of girls too?
Not that many.
Any hot one?
Yes.
Really?
Remember that girl who went to the same school as Bong-sam?
The really sexy girl?
She was there too.
Is is really?
Because she's not a new hire. I guess they made an exception
Why?
Who knows?
Want me to set you up with a girl?
With Bong-sam's college friend?
Remember the girl we met in front of that bar?
The homely-looking girl?
She is not homely, you punk
She's pretty cute.
She's still not my type.
Forget it then!
I wanted to do something nice for you…
Hey, you punk…
I never said no, did I?
Are you sleeping?
God, she's so heavy…
Come in.
I woke you up.
What is it? It's so early…
Can you show me how to put on some makeup?
Makeup?
Take off your glasses first!
Oh my…
You're so pretty.
You shouldn't wear them anymore.
No one wears these tacky horn-rimmed glasses anymore
No wonder you got dumped
You know you really have a problem
You're always picking at people's soft spots.
Am I not right though?
Because she carries herself this way, guys are naturally going to dump her.
See? Take a look.
With just a little work, you could look great.
Yes, a woman has to work on her looks.
Look at us, for instance.
That's how we managed to keep our looks.
Look at me. I look so young
No one can guess my age.
They think I'm 10, 20 years younger than I am
That's pushing it.
What did you say?
That chicken restaurant owner thought I was younger than him
Wait. You're older than him?
No…
What I mean is he thought I was way younger than him.
Pout
Open your eyes and take a look.
See, this is it.
You should've done this a long time ago.
Is it too sexy?
Is it not?
Look at your makeup.
True.
By the way, is there someone new?
AWARD OF CONGENIALITY
Hey, Ho!
Time to get up and go to work!
Come on.
You know what Latin phrase "te nosce" means?
TE NOSCE: Know thyself
What was that?
You don't?
And you somehow managed to pass the written exam.
Doesn't it seem strange to you as well?
For a moment, I thought you weren't the Kang Ho I knew in the past.
But I found out for sure while rooming with you.
You're the same old loser I used to know.
